If students:
1. Didn't need to fork over thousands of dollars to get an education
2. Didn't need to worry about having post collegiate financial security
Fewer students would opt for the "easy" route. It wouldn't solve it, but it would remove the existential stress.

I really like the article. From a top-down societal standpoint, disconnecting financial security from education would be a good start. (Some) Players already self select out of exploits by wanting to play the game as intended since the goal is fun. But financial incentives ruin this.

The Trump administration really is speed running the Great Depression. First, a stock market crash. Next, a food system collapse by not preserving topsoil.

I'm all for people raising their own food, but if avian influenza is dvlevastating flocks, where are people supposed to be getting layers from again?

I work 4 days a week, 10 hours a day. It's nice having three days off. It's not nice basically sacrificing 4 days wholesale.

Turns out it's a stomach virus and has ripped through the whole household.

Hot take: Prismatic, Ergo Sum, and exotic class items lack identity to the point where they rely on powerful gimmicks to be competitive in the sandbox.

Both are a part of a trilogy. And you absolutely need to let me know when you finish Children of Ruin (Time's sequel) 👀
I've never seen any of the Alien movies, but a novelisation just might be my ticket into that universe (I've never been a movie person).

They're both very good books in very different ways. I'll have to add your recommendations to my list! I'm glad it's growing lol

I also picked reading back up as a hobby earlier this year. I highly recommend Children of Time by Adrian Tchaikovsky. Such a wonderful book. I'm currently reading The Fifth Season by N. K. Jemisin. I'll take anyone's recommendations!
